A Transformative Approach to Value-Centric Leadership   On this episode of iQor's Digitally Irresistible podcast, we welcome Sean Ilenrey. Sean is an award-winning tech executive, published author, and keynote speaker whose achievements have inspired his drive to help other professionals achieve their own definition of personal success. In his groundbreaking book, “You Don't Owe Happiness,” he teaches six key principles of value-centric leadership. He finds that when frontline teams feel valued and valuable, they achieve high levels of employee satisfaction leading to optimal customer service delivery.   Tune in as Sean unpacks his six key principles of value-centric leadership from his book to create smiles for employees, leaders, and customers.     Sean's Path to Leadership Inspiration  life experiences have played a significant role in defining his outlook and his expertise. In high school, he dropped out of school, faced homelessness and difficulty focusing due to the circumstances going on in his life. Fast forward and 10 years later he is a vice president in a customer service role. These life experiences drive his inspirational approach to leadership—a culmination of lessons that taught him it's okay to want to take care of other people and help them find happiness at work, but the focus should be on ensuring teams feel valued and valuable.   Sean's [BB1]   customer experience career spans industries ranging from retail to technical support. He has built teams domestically and internationally and supports leadership development that fosters engagement and value.     Six Values That Define Game-Changing Leadership   In his book, Sean elaborates on six key principles that underpin value-centric[BB2]  leadership , providing insights for leaders and organizations striving to optimize employee satisfaction and deliver exceptional customer service.   1. Listening and Responding to Employee Feedback Sean emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with employee feedback. It's not enough for employees' voices to be heard; their feedback should drive actionable outcomes. He shares an example of implementing an anonymous daily or weekly survey, followed by personalized video responses from leadership. This not only fosters a culture of transparency but also ensures that employees feel heard and valued.   2. Authentic Rewards and Recognition Rather than following a traditional, generic recognition approach, Sean advocates for authentic rewards and recognition. He stresses the need for organizations to acknowledge intangible contributions and exceptional efforts beyond standard KPIs. Additionally, the frequency of recognition plays a vital role in reinforcing a culture of gratitude and motivation within the organization.   3. Compensation and Growth Opportunities Compensation and continuous growth opportunities are essential components of value-centric leadership. Sean highlights the significance of aligning compensation with market standards to ensure employees feel appreciated and fairly rewarded for their contributions. Moreover, he introduces the concept of micro-promotions, providing employees with opportunities to advance within their current roles while feeling recognized for their progression.   4. Showing Their Work Matters to the Organization Connecting employees with the organization's larger mission and vision is crucial. Sean shares a personal anecdote about attending a town hall that provided him with clarity on how his individual efforts contributed to the broader organizational goals. It's essential for leaders to contextualize employees' roles within the bigger picture, allowing them to understand their impact and value.   5. Championing Your Employees' Success Incorporating mentorship and sponsorship into the organizational culture is vital for championing employees' success. Sean stresses the importance of leaders advocating for their teams and actively promoting their accomplishments both within and outside the department. This fosters a sense of recognition and pride among employees, ultimately contributing to a positive and empowering work environment.   6. Practical Fiscal Responsibility Finally, Sean emphasizes the critical role of practical fiscal responsibility in value-centric leadership. Maintaining financial stability within the organization reassures employees about their job security, instilling a sense of trust and confidence. Leaders who effectively manage resources, control costs, and prioritize fiscal responsibility provide their teams with a stable and secure work environment.   The Principles of "You Don't Owe Happiness" The title of Sean's book, "You Don't Owe Happiness," encapsulates the essence of value-centric leadership. Sean draws parallels between employee happiness and the stock price of a company, noting that genuine employee satisfaction is an outcome of feeling valued and valuable within the organization. The principles outlined here align with his book's core message, reinforcing the idea that leaders owe their employees value, not just fleeting happiness.   Leading With Value Sean's strategies for implementing value-centric leadership within organizations provide a roadmap for creating a culture that prioritizes employee satisfaction and excellence in customer service delivery. Sean's journey from adversity to success, coupled with his impactful leadership principles, serves as a guiding light for leaders aspiring to build thriving and value-centric workplaces.   His real-world perspective on leading with empathy, authenticity, and strategic foresight to empower teams and drive organizational success provides valuable insights for leadership that creates irresistible workplaces.   What Sean Does for Fun In his free time, Sean values experiences and time spent with his family. He and his wife of 16 years enjoy fun experiences checking out restaurants and exploring new places to learn about different cultures and be in the moment. He also relishes time spent playing video games with his three sons, ranging in age from teenager to four-years-old.   To learn more about Sean's approach to value-centric leadership from his book “You Don't Owe Happiness,” visit his website at www.seanilenrey.com and connect with him on LinkedIn.   Watch the video here.

Supporting the BPO Industry and Driving the Digital Transformation of Businesses in the Philippines This week, we welcome Jack Madrid to the Digitally Irresistible podcast. Jack is president and CEO of the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP). He oversees day-to-day operations for the primary trade body and advocacy group for the IT and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector in the Philippines. With almost 400 member organizations, including iQor, and six partner associations, IBPAP plays a pivotal role in sustaining the growth of the IT-BPM industry by working with stakeholders in the government and academia. On this episode, we discuss the role of IBPAP and how the organization supports the BPO industry and drives digital transformation among businesses in the Philippines.  A Transformative Journey to the BPO Industry After graduating from university, Jack began his career as a banker in both the Philippines and Hong Kong. That led him to a role overseeing strategic planning and business development for a Philippines-based conglomerate. His career then took an interesting turn when Jack became managing director for MTV Philippines, empowering him to reinvent himself professionally and personally. From there, he was introduced to the BPO industry in the Philippines where he recognized the future of the country and vibrant opportunities for job creation. This prompted his digital journey[BB1]  in marketing, setting up operations for Yahoo Philippines. After a few years there, he set out to establish the first e-commerce marketplace in the Philippines. Several years after that, he moved to Vancouver, Canada to be with family and six years later he returned to the Philippines to lead IBPAP—15 years after his introduction to the BPO industry. How IBPAP Supports the BPO Industry in the Philippines IBPAP is the flagship association for the IT-BPM industry in the Philippines, primarily representing the industry, its members, its employers, investors who have offshored their operations in the country, and—most importantly—BPO employees. IBPAP has grown to represent 1.56 million Filipino employees in the country since the beginning of the BPO industry in the Philippines several decades ago. In fact, IBPAP represents the largest industry in the Philippines in terms of jobs and revenue, contributing nearly 8% of the country's GDP. The work and mission of IBPAP is essential for advancing continued opportunities to create jobs throughout the country. Because the Philippines is an archipelago, jobs extend beyond metro Manila and Cebu to 25 cities throughout the countryside that have their own unique characteristics and talent pools with good universities to educate future talent and further expand the BPO industry in the Philippines. The Present State of the BPO Industry in the Philippines Jack notes that the BPO industry in the Philippines is entering an exciting new chapter given the COVID-driven migration of 1+ million employees to work-at-home (WAH) and hybrid environments. When onsite operations quickly moved to work-at-home and hybrid environments while maintaining security, productivity, and customer satisfaction, the BPO industry proved it could deliver outsourced customer service success independent of location and environment for global customers spanning different time zones across verticals and industries. Jack believes the future is bright as the BPO industry in the Philippines develops more value-added services for brands across the globe. Core Strengths and Advantages of the Philippines as an IT-BPM Investment Destination Jack says the primary strength of the Philippines as an IT-BPM investment destination lies in Filipino talent. With a population of 110 million, the Philippines has the demographics and the scale to grow the IT-BPM industry even more. The Filipino workforce is world renowned for excellent communication skills, English fluency, patience, empathy, and the ability to adapt and learn new skills to resolve customer issues across different industry verticals.  Talent supply will always be an advantage, but Jack recognizes the need to continue to build on that strength given the continued demand for offshoring to the Philippines. On top of that, he says the Philippines has done a great job building up the digital infrastructure and internet connectivity throughout the archipelago outside of metro Manila and Cebu. As a nation comprised of thousands of islands, each with its own unique population and talent pool, internet connectivity has improved over the years and will continue to improve in the years ahead as IBPAP works with telecom partners.  Future Opportunities for the BPO Industry in the Philippines IBPAP recently launched its IT-BPM Roadmap 2028. They publish a new roadmap every six years to outline specific recommendations on how to grow the industry.  The most significant part of their Roadmap 2028 is the goal to deliver an additional 1.1 million new jobs for Filipinos by the end of 2028. IBPAP will work with industry stakeholders, government partners, and the private sector to realize this vision over the next six years. The roadmap outlines the following four pillars to grow the IT-BPM industry in the Philippines. 1.    Attract and retain investors by reinforcing the ease of doing business in the Philippines. 2.    Cultivate an extensive and qualified talent pool. Work with the Department of Education and other partners in government to strengthen university and high school curricula and collaborate with the private sector to ensure the continued availability and employability of talent for the years ahead. Jack emphasizes that this is likely the most critical pillar. 3.    Improve and strengthen digital infrastructure in the Philippines to ensure strong connectivity in in-office, at-home, and hybrid work environments throughout the archipelago. 4.    Continue to strengthen the Philippines' industry positioning to meet the challenge of adding more than 1 million new jobs in six years, a goal that took over two decades to achieve in the early years of the BPO industry in the Philippines. By focusing on these four pillars, tapping into new talent pools, and continuing to strengthen the Filipinos' acceptance of the BPO industry as a long-term career path, Jack and his colleagues at IBPAP will continue to support the growth of the BPO industry and drive digital transformation among businesses in the Philippines. What Jack Does for Fun For fun, Jack's passion is studying wine. He began his studies a few years ago and now teaches others as an informal wine coach. He enjoys sharing his knowledge about the wine regions as well as the different grapes and varieties of wine. He also spends a fair amount of time analyzing wines through blind tastings. When he's not honing his wine skills, Jack enjoys playing golf and improving his short game.

Hi! I have made a brand new chess podcast. You might ask how will this be different from the other chess podcasts? The Say Chess Podcast will be updating you on my chess projects, delivering blindfold chess puzzles, miniature games, and moments from chess history. It will challenge you to visualize the chessboard and practice blindfold chess. To ensure a good narration of the puzzles I have used an artificial voice, that I think does a better job than I would.In the first podcast episode, you will find a part of Capablanca's book ‘My Chess Career' that I'm covering in newsletter format. The game mentioned on the podcast can be found in this Lichess study or look below.Let me know what you think!THE MATCH WITH MARSHALL, CHAPTER IV, My Chess Career, part VII “The most surprising feature of all was the fact that I played without having ever opened a book to study the openings.” — CapablancaSubscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.The Match with Marshall. No difficulty was experienced in arranging the match. Marshall was disposed to play in this case where he naturally discounted his victory. How far he was wrong the result proved. I beat him eight to one with fourteen draws thrown in between. I can safely say that no player ever performed such a feat, as it was my first encounter against a master, and such a master, one of the first ten in the whole world. The most surprising feature of all was the fact that I played without having ever opened a book to study the openings; in fact, had Marshall played such things as Danish Gambits, Vienna openings, or the like, the result might have been different. I certainly should have experienced more difficulty in obtaining such a result. I had only looked up an analysis of the Ruy Lopez by Lasker, on the f5-defence, but the analysis was wrong, as it did not give the strongest continuation for Black. This, and whatever I knew from experience or hearsay, was all my stock of knowledge for the match. My victory put me at once in the foremost rank among the great masters of the game. The play during the match showed that I was weak in the openings and just about strong enough in the simple play for position. My great strength lay in the end game, and I also excelled in combinations of the middle game. I had a fine judgment as to whether a given position was won or lost, and was able to defend a difficult position as few players could, as I repeatedly demonstrated during the course of the match, in repulsing Marshall's onslaughts. I may add that my style was not as yet either definite or complete, though it had a wide range, i.e. I could attack almost as well as I could defend, and could make combinations in the middle game nearly as well as play the endings where I felt more at home and was decidedly strongest. Here are some of the games with notes as I see them today. GAME No. 7.The Fifth Game of the Match.F. Marshall vs. J. R. Capablanca, 0-1Link to Lichess studyYear: 1909Opening: Queen's Gambit Declined (Lasker Defence)1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e3 Ne4 Today, when I have developed theories in accordance with my greater experience and knowledge, the chances are great against my making such a move, but then it was different, I did not know what to play, and when someone told me that Lasker had successfully played this move in his match with Marshall, I decided to adopt it. It was not till the end of the match, when I learned something else, that I changed my defence. 6. Bxe7 Qxe7 7. Bd3 The continuation adopted by Marshall in this game is in my opinion deficient. I believe that he played this variation best in the twenty-first game. Here, at any rate, I think it is better to play cxd5, followed by Qb3, after the Knights have been exchanged. 7... Nxc3 8. bxc3 8… Nd7 cxd5 at once is better. 9. Nf3 O-O 10. Qc2 h6 11. O-O He still had time to play cxd5, which was the correct continuation. 11... c5 With the idea of counterbalancing on the Queen's side the attack of White against the Black King. 12. Rfe1 dxc4 13. Bxc4 b6 14. Qe4I do not think well of this maneuver, as the attack is too slow to obtain any advantage, and on the other hand, it compels Black to post his pieces where he wanted, i.e. the Bishop at b7, the Knight at f6, and his two Rooks at c8 and the Queen-square respectively, thereby holding the open lines with the Rooks and ready at the same time to attack the enemy's center. 14... Rb8 15. Bd3 Nf6 16. Qf4 If Qh4, Nd5 would have been sufficient. 16... Bb7 17. e4 Rfd8 18. Rad1 Rbc8 Black has now the superior game, as there is no weak point in his position, and his Queen's side is much stronger than White's. Besides, the strategical position of Black's pieces is superior to that of White's. 19. Re3 Not good, as Black quickly demonstrates. Bb1 was the correct move. 19... cxd4 20. cxd4 Rc3 21. Bb1 An error, Qh4 was the only chance White had of holding the game. 21... g5 22. Nxg5 Qg3 would have lost a Pawn, but White sees chances of attack by sacrificing the Knight and consequently adopts this continuation in preference to the other, which he thought would also have lost the game with less chances of a possible mistake on Black's part. 22... Rxe3 23. Qxe3 Ng4 hxg5 would have avoided complications but would have left White with two Pawns for the Knight. 24. Qg3 Qxg5 25. h4 Had White played Qc7 at once, Black would have answered 25. Qc7 Rc8 26. Qxb7 Rc1 27. Qb8+ Kg7 28.Rf1 Qd2 winning outright. 25... Qg7 26. Qc7 Rxd4 Not the best, Qf6 was the right move. Incidentally, it would have saved me a great deal of trouble which I had to win the game. Here I will call attention to the poor notes sometimes written by analysts. Games are often annotated by unknown players who have not sufficient knowledge of the game. As a matter of fact, the games of the great masters, at least, can only be properly annotated by very few players. Of course, even the best are not exempt from mistakes, but while they make them few and far between the others do so continuously. I was highly praised by many because of the excellence of my play in this position, while in reality, I could have done better. They simply did not see that here Qf6 was better than the text move. 27. Qb8+ Kh7 28. e5+ Be4 29. Rxd4 Bxb1 30. Qxa7 Nxe5 31. Rf4 Be4 White should not have allowed this move. 32. g3 Nf3+ Very poor play, f5 at once was the right way. After the text move Black has a difficult game to win. 33. Kg2 f5 34. Qxb6 Nxh4+ 35. Kh2 If Kh3, then Qa8 would win at once.35... Nf3+ 36. Rxf3 Forced, as Black threatened Ng5+ followed by Qa8. 36... Bxf3 37. Qxe6 Be4 38. f3 Bd3 39. Qd5 Qb2+ 40. Kg1 Bb1It is from now on that it can be said that I played well. The ending is worth studying. 41. a4 Qa1 42. Qb7+ Kg6 43. Qb6+ Kh5 44. Kh2 Ba2 45. Qb5 Kg6 46. a5 Qd4 47. Qc6+ Qf6 48. Qe8+ Qf7 49.

Peugeot EX1 Peugeot ha colto l’occasione dei festeggiamenti per il bicentenario e dell’imminenza del lancio commerciale dell’elettrica iOn per realizzare una dream car capace di evidenziare l’aspetto emotivo offerto dalla tecnologia a zero emissioni. È così nata EX1, roadster biposto da ieri ammirabile nella Peugeot Avenue sugli Champs-Elysées di Parigi e che sul circuito di Montlhéry si è resa protagonista di ben sei record mondiali di accelerazione con partenza da fermo. Il prototipo ha infatti battuto i primati (in attesa dell’omologazione Fia) di 1/8 di miglio, 1/4 di miglio, 500 metri, 1/2 miglio, 1.000 metri e 1 miglio. Per realizzare questo bolide futurista, gli ingegneri e i designer hanno attinto dalla storia del Leone adottando le soluzioni tecniche più radicali con un’architettura che ricorda concept quali Asphalte del 1996 e 20Cup del 2005 e immagazzinando le competenze storiche legate alla motorizzazione elettrica. Altri elementi, come il contorno delle porte in alluminio lucido, riprendono la RCZ e la BB1. La forma della EX1 (1,77 metri di larghezza e 90 cm di altezza) ricorda una goccia d’acqua perché il posteriore si stringe attorno alle due ruote ravvicinate, la dimensione della cellula-abitacolo è ridotta e la struttura monoscocca è in carbonio/nido d’ape per ottimizzare massa e rigidità. Sulla concept ognuno dei 2 assali dispone di un proprio motore elettrico per una potenza complessiva di 340 CV e una coppia di 240 Nm, impostazione meccanica che consente di ottenere la motricità delle quattro ruote inglobando i vantaggi della tecnologia HYbrid4 (motore HDi Fap anteriore e propulsore elettrico posteriore) che dal 2011 sarà adottata di serie sulla 3008. Le batterie sono agli ioni di litio e il tetto è dotato di pannelli fotovoltaici. Dopo aver aperto la porta controvento, guidatore e passeggero si calano in un’atmosfera sportiva e futurista con il pilota in posizione praticamente rasoterra a guidare il veicolo attraverso un volante a cloche. La protezione a bordo è assicurata dalle cinture sportive e dall’altezza della cellula in carbonio, tanto che su strada la EX1 si può guidare senza casco.

This podcast is about the modern grand piano. A full size piano usually has a compass of 7 1/4 octaves, from A0 to C8. For the notes A0 to A1 there is only one string per note, for the octave above (Bb1 to Bb2) two strings per note and for the notes above these three strings. All strings up to Bb2 are overwound to increase their mass per unit length. The plane and overwound strings have separate treble and bass bridges which are designed to give the correct balance between volume and sustain. Increasing bridge impedance increases the sustain but decreases the volume. The right sustaining pedal raises dampers to allow the strings to vibrate freely. Due to sympathetic vibrations, this affects the sound on even the highest notes which have no dampers. The left una corda pedal shifts the keyboard and action so that two instead of three strings are struck in the higher registers.
